As tastes became more refined, craft beers found a cosy place in the city’s pubs. Let’s explores some of these treasures.

Four Grain Saison at Independence Brewing Company The Four Grain Saison is the talk of the town. This scintillating brew is made from 4 grains – barley, wheat, rye, and oats – and fermented with authentic Saison yeast from Wallonia along with an intense nose of plum. Too much technical talk? Let’s break it down – the quirky combination lends the brew a pear-like fruitiness and it most certainly goes well with the classy, summerhouse setting here.

Apple Cider Beer at The 1st Brewhouse, The CorinthiansThe fruity youthfulness of a brew is best accentuated by Apple Cider Beer. The gentle flavours of this brew complement the range of assorted German-inspired dishes served here. The Brewhouse’s quirky interiors (upturned barrels for seats) make it a hip and trendy spot to hit anytime.
